'''Steelmaking''' is the process of producing steel from iron and coal. Steel is an essential metal that is required to progress to more advanced armor and equipment. Diamond-tier equipment uses steel variants as its base.

Producing steel requires a higher temperature environment than regular coal can provide. Players need to heat coal to obtain '''coal coke''', which can supply enough heat to melt a carbon-rich variant of iron called '''pig iron''', which needs to be crafted separately using iron ingots~~. Coal coke also functions as fuel like usual, providing a 50% longer burn time~~.

Pig iron needs to be prepared and covered with coal coke, producing a '''coal-coke covered iron ingot''', which can be smelted using any fuel type to produce a steel ingot. Steel requires a long time to form, but as is the case with other metals, blast furnaces provide a significant reduction in wait times for smelting with no additional cost in fuel. Coal coke has an additional function as an alternative fuel source, providing a 50% longer burn time compared to regular coal.

* Firearms, such as flintlocks and muskets

* Shields

* Diamond equipment (armor, tools, weapons)

* [[Alathra:Locking|Steel locks]]

* Blast furnaces (steel ingots replacing iron)
